Margareth Kammerer : To Be An Animal of Real Flesh

Margareth Kammerer

To Be An Animal of Real Flesh

label: Charhizma

ref: CHA 023

year: 2003

players: Various

An ebb and flow of the slowest kind immersed in the vastness of

boundless sounds where instrumental disembodiment leaves behind the

linguistic to plunge into abstraction with just a few strokes barely

noticeable on the sonic surface. Casual nuances, tiptoe mass

displacement and the surprise of subtly flowing sway between source

and sound.

Movimiento de mareas del tipo ms lento inmersas en la inmensidad de

sonidos sin lmites donde la desarticulacin instrumental deja atrs

lo lingstico para submergirse en la abstraccion con brazadas apenas

visibles en la superficie. Matices casuales, desplazamiento de masas

en puntillas y la sorpresa de un balanceo de suave flujo entre fuente

y sonido.

Team Up

label: Reify Recordings

ref: RE 005

year: 2004

players: Jeremy Drake, Stephen Flinn, Chris Heenan

A hint to an attitude, perhaps an ethos of wandering, creative

immersions in peripheral traditions as recovered by the craft of

poets y singers and bearing the memories of previous journeys already

transformed into branches of the same road, with poetry, guest

musicians, instrumental contributions or remixers, or maybe much

simpler.

Un gui?o a una actitud, tal vez un deambular, inmersiones creativas

en tradiciones perif?ricas tal y como son recuperadas en la labor de

escritores y musicos que muestran el recuerdo de viajes anteriores

convertidos en ramales de ese mismo camino, con poes?a,

colaboraciones en forma instrumental o como remezcla, o tal vez mucho

m?s sencillo.

Doran/Brennan/Hral

Triangulation

label: Leo Records

ref: CD LR 388

year: 2004

players: Christy Doran, John Wolf Brennan, Patrice Hral

An encounter centred around the sonic worlds of three musicians and

the posibilities derived from their respective backgrounds, whether

electric, idiomatic or improvised, common points of reference are dug

to weave an interplay where roles are laid if unconventionally

filled. A preference for an interpretative ethos rather than

immersive voyages in abstract sound.

Encuentro centrado en torno a los mundos sonoros de tres msicos y

las posibilidades que derivan de sus respectivos bagages, ya sean

elctricos, idiomticos o improvisados. Rescate de puntos de

referencia en comn para tejer un interplay de roles cumplidos de

forma inusual. Una apuesta por un quehacer idiomtico en vez de

bsquedas en el sonido abstracto.

Olivier Benoit and Sophie Agnel have reached a rare level of

complicity based on a shared intention not to be satisfied merely

with good moments or agreeable musical phenomena. What I Look for in

improvised music is present here, namely a mutual awareness of the

act of sound production from the perspective of the passive listener

The feeling of an all-encompassing mystical tour-de-force through

layer after layer of soaring experiences, wherein body and mind,

matter and spirit, take hold of each other in a dance of the gods

inside our elementary particles, in a dance which have change guises

life after life, seeing existence out of all those numerous positions

in time and space and spirit,.

Surrealities, wandering through near distant paths. How far is here?

A trace of infinity conceals and unfolds. Organism. Pulsations and

flow approaching and passing our point of stasis. The intangible? A

silence of minimal signs. The simple magnified in the space of time

Black American Flag is two long form pieces of cathartic hermetic,

meditative noise that slowly evolve into nothing while exploring

delicate interplay and a course, uneven stasis. Fire through a needle

eye. For almost two years now, psi has been examining the boundaries

of their instruments and acoustical spaces together .

music feature within a freely improvised purely acoustic context:

organisations around textural and rhythmic concerns, interruptions in

“constructed improvisations”

players: Rex Casswell, Jrgen Teller, P.O. Jrgens, Jeffrey Morgan

Almost hardcore in outlook, a creative highspeed revision of free

impro, unusual sound space distribution, multilayered solipsism yet

featuring a permanent conversational switch of partners/planes,

erasing roles and oppositions (rhythm/melody, electric/acoustic) in a

most refreshing fluctuation of aesthetics blending extended playing

and background diversity.

Una revisin a toda velocidad -casi hardcore- de la improvisacin

libre, inusual distribucin del espacio sonoro, solipsismo multinivel

aunque con un permanente cambio de planos/parejas de conversacin,

desdibujado de roles y contrarios (ritmo/meloda, elctrico/acstico)

en una refrescante fluctuacin de estticas que funde horas en comn

con diversidad de procedencias.

I had composed many short pieces during these 10 years, but most of

them were left in the past because they didn?t have a space in the

disc, or was more interested in longer piece in these years. Also in

many cases, they were needed to be edited more time.

For many years now Roman Nowka has been involving himself almost

exclusively with the music of Thelonious Monk. After a long search,

Roman Nowka has found the musicians he was searching for. They play

Monk… sometimes it takes you back 50 years… sometimes it sound as

though George Clinton?s Funkadelic had themselves experienced a Monk

Trio…
